Willowtree’s Jambalaya

Jambalaya is known as as a simple, easy-to-prepare dish and something you might eat if you are looking for that ‘stick to your ribs’ kind of meal. In other words, it’s hearty, filling, and this one has a nice bite to it.

Make sure you have a nice, big pot and frying pan on hand, cast iron or enamel cast iron are our favourites for sure. We also recommend sourcing out your local butcher for the sausages and fish market for the shrimp; these will make the dish taste that much better, you will have comfort in knowing there won’t be any additives, chemicals or hormones in the meat you’ll be cooking for this dish, and you will be supporting your farmers and fisherman in your community.

And saving the best for last, this is a gluten and dairy-free lunch or dinner (or both!) ~ so have at ‘er food sensitivities friends! We hope you enjoy it.

Let the shrimp cook until light pink. Add rice, stewed tomatoes and stock. Stir until it comes to a boil, then turn heat down to minimum, place the lid on the pot and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until all moisture is absorbed.
